Same thing with the "will your very best friend... ooo have been replaced by some other" line in "When".

Look back at post #7 on this thread, where I relayed my feelings on Stevie's songs on
Tango, most notably
When I See You Again. I really do like these songs. I think they're some of the most lyrically honest of her career. I think Stevie was pretty gutsy to lay it out there that she was forcibly committed into rehab, and to talk about the depths of her despair in both songs. Neither song may be as lovely to listen to as perhaps
Dreams, but they sure as HELL have a of a lot more depth to them.
And I truly mean it when I say
When I See You Again is as artistically adventurous and avant garde than any of Lindsey's Tusk tunes. Mainly, because it's so effective at conveying the depths Stevie had sunk to when she wrote and recorded that song. I truly do think it's one of the most artistically successful songs the band has recorded for that reason. It may not be the prettiest, but I am SO glad we have it as a snapshot in time.
